Learn how to make a Eastern North Carolina-Style Barbecue Sauce devon davis: Oh be still my heart I was born and raised in Raleigh NC by a wonderful father who was from NY ironically (rest your sweet soul Daddy Your Punkin-Baby misses you more and more as the years go by, and a mother from a little town (Spring Hope) in Nash County; the HEART of Eastern North Carolina Having moved from my beloved home state to Pennsylvania (kickin and screamin up 95N) last June, ANY mention and or combination of the words CAROLINA, BBQ, EASTERN, NORTH perks my ears and unashamedly renders tears. While we praise God for my husband's employment, and we appreciate the opportunity to expose our daughter to the unique culture of the City of Brotherly Love, there is truly no place like home That being said, I was tickled to wake up to this recipe and apart from the slight variations by Chef John, it is certainly a good representation of what I grew up eating on our bbq (which is FINELY chopped with a cleaver, as opposed to the heavily sauced pulled pork versions of Western NC. This sauce is also typically basted on chicken leg quarters that are being cooked at the same time as a whole hog at a Pig Pickin.

Chef John I love your videos and the food you cook. Recently I have read a book on cooking called On Food And Cooking The Science and Lore Of the Kitchen. In the book there is a paragraph about making Margarine. In the past margarine has been made from tallow and skim milk. I wonder if a margarine can be made from beef bone marrow. I believe that this is entirely possible and will have interesting property's. I hope you will response to me. thank you for your Tme and keep up the good work.

I nick named mine Dismal Swamp Water just to confuse my guests. I'm a Southern New Yorker who moved to NC and love this stuff on pulled pork, also now topped with Chow Chow instead of slaw and perhaps a squeeze of Rooster sauce. Now still smoking and pulling pork and living in the low country of South Carolina. Thanks for your take on this wonderful Eastern/western BBQ Sauce. I'll try it with honey next time.

The Great Dismal Swamp is in North Carolina. I live in Eastern NC, I am a transplant from AZ. I do not like the BBQ sauce. I do, however enjoy the pit roasted pig that you get at a good old fashioned pig pickin'. That cannot be compared You can keep the sauce. Cause I always thought it was kind of icky. I much prefer a St. Louis style sauce. To each his own

If you do that whole thing in a sauce pan and simmer it for alittle bit the pepper flavor permeates the sauce better. Then you can cool it if you want. Ive also seen recipes with some ketchup in there too to add alittle more depth of flavor (though Im pretty sure if you tried to make it that way in NC theyd run you out of town)

North Carolinian here. That looks about right on the sauce, kudos But, you've made a horrible omission on the sandwich. You have to add a little mayonnaise based cole slaw to the sandwich to balance the heat from the sauce. Try it, you'll see. Also if you haven't tried South Carolina mustard sauce you really should.

I am an Eastern North Carolinian and I make my sauce just like this except I skip honey. I do sometimes put some adobo from Chipotle peppers in and hold back on some of the red pepper flakes. In fact, I was 19 years old living in New York before I learned that what we call BBQ sauce in E. NC was not the norm.

I grew up in NC and am currently living there, my grandad owned a bbq resturant in Winston-Salem, and I must say, you are missing 1 ingredient that is essential in most western or eastern NC sauce. That is Texas Pete hot sauce, which is made in (that's right, you guessed it) Winston-Salem NC Ha.

Digitally? Digitally? Chef John, you've killed me. again Could you hear the groan from way over there? I betcha you could. Now excuse me while I chase down my eyeballs, they seem to have rolled under the couch for some reason.

I live in South Carolina, and for some reason it's always a debate on which Carolina BBQ sauce is better. I always vote for this one. The mustard-based one isn't bad, but it can really mask the flavor of the meat.
